With the improvement of legal regulation, the derivatives market in Russia has a real growth potential. The undervaluation of the domestic enterprises and the high growth rates of the Russian economy have led the stock market to the constant rise and growth, and the Russian derivatives market to a considerable boost in activity during the last ten years. However, as the rapid development of the Russian stock market cannot go on for ever, many private investors and professional managers feel the need of derivatives for investment hedging and reaping extra financial gains in the absence of the shares and bonds price surge. The present paper analyses hedge effectiveness of the Russian Trading System Index Futures from the first day of their trading on August 3, 2005 through July 29, 2011. The choice of the Russian market is justified on the grounds that it is relatively new and is among the leading global derivatives exchanges, which is actively developing. To estimate hedge effectiveness the six year daily RTS Index and RTS Index Futures returns were divided into twelve equal semiannual periods. The coefficient of determination or the R-Squared was employed as the main measure of the effectiveness, calculated by an Ordinary Least Squares regression analysis. In addition, a Minimum Variance Hedge Ratio model was applied to the hedge coefficient or the hedge ratio calculation. Besides, the volatility of both variables was examined and compared to the hedging coefficient’s fluctuations. The results showed that the RTS Index Futures contract fully satisfies the hedge effectiveness terms and conditions, and strongly reflect the market behavior. iii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my parents to whom I owe my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude, and who have made my studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington possible.

In the case of financial and stock markets where the vast sums of money and even the future and the destiny of huge corporations are often at stake, this decision is twice as hard. The present paper entitled “Hedge Effectiveness of the RTS Index Futures” has its target audience of investors, executives, analysts together with finance, risk and portfolio managers. It is intended to give an account of Russian derivatives market and the extent to which eliminating risks with the most popular instrument in Russia RTS Index futures is successful. The present chapter of the paper introduces the framework and objectives of the study. This section also provides the interpretation of the hedging concept and the explanation for the Russian financial market preference. In addition, the fundamental characteristics and specific features of the hedging instrument are identified, as well as factors and indicators that influence and evaluate hedging performance. Hedging To begin with, it is important to define the notion of hedging. Hedging is one of the most essential features of the derivatives market. It is also the most attractive and convenient way to neutralize systematic risks. The hedging principle is to fix the acceptable price level of the future transactions with financial instruments, such as forwards, futures or options. The major objective, however, is not to gain profit,

  • Exchange Rate Risk Related to MICEX and RTS Indices
    Journal of Business and Economics, ISSN 2155-7950, USA July 2015, Volume 6, No. 7, pp. 1375-1383 DOI: 10.15341/jbe(2155-7950)/07.06.2015/014 © Academic Star Publishing Company, 2015 http://www.academicstar.us Exchange Rate Risk Related to MICEX and RTS Indices Hana Florianová, Barbora Chmelíková (Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic) Abstract: This paper examines the exchange rate risk on the Moscow Exchange. Two main Russian equity indices — MICEX and RTS — were chosen as the objects of research. These indices are calculated as capitalization-weighted, based on prices of fifty most liquid stocks of Russian companies related to the main sectors of the Russian economy. Both indices are calculated in real time and their bases are composed of identical stocks. The difference between MICEX and RTS is the currency in which they are denominated. While MICEX index is denominated in rubles, RTS index is denominated in US dollars. Data has been gathered from June 2000 till June 2014. Daily closing prices have been used. The main hypothesis was tested by using linear regression model and its adjustments. The established hypothesis that two correspondent indices, which differ only in currency in which they are denominated, have different price development in time was proven. Key words: equity indices; exchange rate risk; Moscow exchange JEL codes: G15, F31 1. Introduction The connection of financial markets is thanks to the modern technologies closer than ever. Authors narrowed their focus on Russian financial market, Moscow Exchange, where two formally identical indices MICEX and RTS are quoted. The question posed is whether or not these two indices, differing only in the currency they are denominated in, have the same performance in time.
